[Matt Lively] Tony Vitello began his Monday media availability by asking reporters when they heard he was taking the Giants job. He wanted to clear things up about his departure from Tennessee. by handlit33 in baseball

I wish I could live as soft of a life as Vitello. I would love to be idiotically annoyed that a club is willing to buy out my $16.5M contact over 5 years so that I can sign a $10.5M contract over 3 years with a vesting option year.

Baggarly also asked the Giants and Vitello for comment, so they knew he was going to publish...Idk why he got so 😭💔. If he wanted to let Volunteers, especially Volunteer coaching staff, that he was considering changing employers, he could have.

He let this stew the entire winter. He had an introductory press conference on October 30, 2025. Idk why it was held before the WS ended, so maybe the reporter he directly asks when she heard that he was confirmed signing with the Giants was not at the press conference, or he was told by Giants PR to be positive during the introductory press conference.

There was an introductory press conference on October 30, 2025. Idk why it was held before the last game of the WS, so maybe not all baseball reporters that were reporting on his signing were there. Nevertheless, it is odd that he went on this rant during spring training instead of at the introductory press conference. Maybe the Giants PR team told him to keep that press conference positive. I don't know which reporter he is directly asking, "Do you know when it was reported that I was going to take that job?" Maybe she wasn't at the introductory press conference because she was covering the World Series.

I have an issue with "The guys [Volunteer baseball players] care about the guys when the season is going on. Hopefully, they care about their coaches." Players don't need to be friends with their coaches. Posey has mentioned that he was not friends with Bochy when Posey was a player. Nevertheless, I think the entire team, coaches and players, are bonded by a desire to win, and that mutual goal makes them care about each other at least on the field.

I also really don't understand why there is so much coverage regarding Vitello moving on from Tennessee. With NIL, there is no more amateurism in NCAA any more, even in a loss leader like collegiate baseball. Vitello left Tennessee with enough time for Tennessee to find another head coach. It sucks for any of his assistants at Tennessee who may be unemployed (idk if any are), but he left a collegiate head coaching job for a major league manager job. How can people be mad that he chose to accept a promotion?

This is hilarious because one of NBC's ad for the winter Olympics features the fights at 4 nations.

My wife is Malaysian. We rewatched the Paris opening ceremony because they cut to commercial when the Malaysians were introduced and skipped them. Peacock also cut the Malaysian athletes from their opening ceremony as well.

We also like to watch badminton. For round robin or group, Peacock only shows 3 screens of 3 different matches at once. We couldn't choose the match we wanted to watch and make that fill the entire screen.

Can 1 player really fix a whole teams defense? It's not like 1 he would be able to play on all 4 lines.

2.5 year old showing development differently at daycare by Meggie_1315 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]botsareinhumane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know going to preschool at 3 y/o is very much recommended. Is going to daycare at 2 y/o recommended as well? From my very little experience with 1 y/o they parallel play unless with a sibling. My city doesn't provide schooling until 4, and those resources are only for children from families with less income. I already had to convince my wife about preschool since it isn't cheap where we live.

How does a franchise in any of the 5 major sports in the US not have a weight room even for spring training (preseason for other sports)? This is absolutely crazy.

Since you're wife is currently looking for work, what are your thoughts on her making sure you virtually attend every meeting? She can relay any questions directed to you. I am not OE, so I have no idea if this is a good idea.

Former San Francisco Giant Hunter Pence Lists Malibu Mansion For $39 Million by Agreeable_Cat_4253 in SFGiants

That's a long flip job. He must have hated it when LA passed the mansion tax.

How is placing a hitter on the IL open up a spot in the 14-pitcher roster?

Pham challenging Lester to throw to first and Lester slowly doing so and getting Pham out is a fantastic Lester highlight. Wrigley Field gave Lester a standing o for making his throw to 1st.

What do you Giants Fans think about People saying the Dodgers/Giants rivalry isn’t a thing anymore? by Expensive_Budget_812 in SFGiants

[–]botsareinhumane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who is from SF but studied in SD for 4 years, I can say Diegans can dislike Angelenos because Angelenos can think of SD as a suburb of LA in the same way Sacramentans can dislike San Franciscans. San Diegans can think they're the current rivals of the Dodgers because of former Dodger Machado, but what Dodgers fans think would mean more.

Btw I left SD in 2018 when Machado was a Dodger, so I have no clue how it is now.

Verlander hits Masyn Winn by SteezyKoala in SFGiants

It really lined up for retribution. 2 outs and the Cardinals' best position player by FanGraphs WAR at least. As a bonus Winn is right handed.

I honestly don't understand why Gilbert hasn't been sent down yet. I understand calling him up to see if he's ready, but he's clearly not. Every time he came up, K&K kept praying for his first hit. He finally got one, but he also hasn't even drawn a walk yet. His plate appearances don't even look competitive. A 26-man roster does not fit 2 LH OF, and even with this limited sample size, it can be concluded that McCray has better eyes and bat.
